Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Nichole Jatan Smith was born in Santa Barbara California at Cottage Hospital on February 4, 1981 to parents Linda English Smith and Henry Smith. Nichole also had two other siblings Crystal Crockett(oldest) and Jalielah Smith Holmes (sec. oldest) ... Nichole attended Santa Barbara High and later relocated to Ventura county. Nichole loved her new church (Evangelist Missionary Baptist Church) where she kept a great friendship with her church members. Nichole later fell in love with Reginald Vaughntez Shropshire (father) in 2002 and became pregnant with her first and only child Reginald Jakai Shropshire in May 2004. Nichole was the jack of all trades. Nichole received a license in Cosmetology and down the line became a state-to-state truck driver. Nichole was determined to follow in her fathers footsteps in the transportation industry. Nichole was a great aunt to her niece and nephews and continued to travel around the United States driving trucks doing what she loved for a living. Nichole touched so many lives with her words of encouragement, smile, laughter and her relationship with God. Sadly, Nichole's life journey ended on November 21, 2023 but her spirit lives on forever. Reginald "Kai Kai" Shropshire was Nicholes heartbeat and reason to live life to the fullest even in hard times. Nichole was a inspiration to us all to keep living, supporting and love one another as she was on her way to the top in her own pursuit of happiness
"The one who believes in me will live, even though they die, and whoever lives by believing in me will never die" John 11:25-26
